LEGACY COACH PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 8 September 2026
Legacy Coach is run by Stephen Connolly, based in Ireland. For anything
in this policy, or to exercise any of the rights below, email
legacycoachsupport@gmail.com. If you need a postal address for a formal
request, ask and we will provide one.
This policy covers the Legacy Coach iOS app.
THE SHORT VERSION
Most of what you log stays on your phone. Your workouts, your nutrition
logs and your progress photos never leave it.
If you create an account and agree to it, your weigh-ins, check-ins and
macro targets are stored on our servers so your data survives a new
phone. Only you can see them.
Legacy Coach is a personal training app. Nothing you record is shared
with another person. There is no coach, no team and no social feature.
You are asked before any of that happens, and you can say no and keep
using the app.
You can delete your account and everything with it from inside the app,
at any time.
IF YOU DO NOT CREATE AN ACCOUNT
The app works without one. In that case nothing you log is sent to us at
all. The only exceptions are the two in "Things that happen either way"
below.
WHAT WE STORE WHEN YOU DO HAVE AN ACCOUNT
Your account
When you sign in with Apple we receive and store an account identifier,
your name, and your email address if you choose to share it rather than
hide it. Apple lets you hide it, and the app works the same either way.
Your health and progress information
Weigh-ins, meaning your weight, waist measurement and any note you add.
Check-ins, meaning your sleep, energy, hunger, adherence, stress,
soreness and motivation ratings and any note you add.
This is health information and we treat it as such. We only store it if
you have specifically agreed, in a screen that asks you about this and
nothing else. If you decline, the app keeps it on your phone only and
everything else continues to work. You can change your mind at any time
in Settings, and when you turn it off we offer to delete what has
already been stored.
These records are readable only by you.
Your targets
Your calorie and macro targets. These are readable only by you.
WHAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
Workout logs, sets, reps and weights
Nutrition and food logs
Progress photos
Anything read from Apple Health
Your settings
If you use the daily log, you can also record body
measurements, body fat percentage, resting pulse, blood pressure and
blood glucose. These stay on your phone too. They are not uploaded and
they are not used by the automatic recommendations.
None of this is sent to us.
Progress photos are stored on your phone and nowhere else. They are not
uploaded and nobody else can see them, and location and camera details
are stripped from every photo before it is saved. They are included in
the export described under Your Rights, which is the only way they leave
the device, and only when you choose to send it somewhere.
APPLE HEALTH
If you allow it, the app reads and writes weight, steps and active energy
in Apple Health. That happens entirely on your phone. We do not receive
your Apple Health data. You can withdraw access at any time in the iOS
Settings app under Privacy and Security, then Health.
Note that a weigh-in you enter in Legacy Coach is our own record, and if
you have agreed to health sync it is stored as described above.
AUTOMATED RECOMMENDATIONS
Legacy Coach works out your daily calorie and protein targets, and
decides when to increase the weight on a lift, automatically. It uses
your weigh-in trend over the past few weeks, what you have logged
eating, and your weekly check-in answers on sleep, energy, hunger,
stress and adherence.
Nobody reviews these by hand, and they are estimates rather than advice.
Every number can be changed or ignored: you can edit your targets
directly in the app, and you can turn auto-adjustment off in Settings.
These recommendations do not have legal effects and are not used to
decide anything about you beyond what the app suggests. They are not
medical advice, and you should speak to your doctor before changing your
diet or exercise.
THINGS THAT HAPPEN EITHER WAY
Crash reports
When the app crashes or freezes we receive a crash report through
Sentry, containing your device model, your iOS version and a technical
trace of what the app was doing. It does not contain your name, your
email or your health information, and it is not used to identify you.
The food and exercise library
The app downloads a shared library of foods and exercises. If you scan
a barcode or add a food we do not have, that food can be added to the
shared library so other people benefit. Only the food goes: its name,
brand and nutrition per 100g. Nothing identifying you or your device is
attached to it, and there is no way to tell from the library who added
what. You need to be signed in to contribute, but browsing the library
does not require an account.
WHO ELSE IS INVOLVED
Supabase hosts our database and file storage.
Sentry provides crash reporting.
Apple provides sign-in, subscriptions and Apple Health.
Open Food Facts is a public food database we query by barcode. We send
only the barcode or the search term, never anything about you.
Supabase and Sentry act on our instructions and are not permitted to use
your information for their own purposes. Where any of them stores data
outside the European Economic Area, that transfer is covered by the
standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers.
There is no advertising or tracking in this app, and no advertising
identifier is read.
WHY WE ARE ALLOWED TO STORE IT
For your account: because you asked us to provide it, which the law
calls performance of a contract.
For your weigh-ins and check-ins: because you gave explicit consent, and
only for as long as you leave it in place.
For crash reports: because we have a legitimate interest in keeping the
app working.
HOW LONG WE KEEP IT
For as long as you have an account. Delete your account and it goes from
the live database immediately, and from your phone at the same time.
Encrypted
backups of the database are kept for a short period and expire on their
own; we do not use them to restore a deleted account.
Crash reports are kept for a limited period by Sentry and then deleted
automatically.
YOUR RIGHTS
You can ask us for a copy of what we hold, correct anything wrong,
delete it, ask us to stop or limit what we do with it, object to it, or
receive it in a portable form. You will never be treated differently for
asking.
The quickest routes are already in the app. Settings has an export that
gives you a .zip containing your data along with your progress photos
themselves, so it is a complete copy rather than a list of what you had.
It is yours: the app hands it to you and keeps no copy, and where you
send it is entirely up to you. Settings also has a toggle to turn health
sync off with the option to delete what was stored, and a delete account
option that removes everything.
For anything else, email legacycoachsupport@gmail.com. We will respond
within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can
complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission at www.dataprotection.ie.
CHILDREN
Legacy Coach is not intended for anyone under 16. Setting up a profile
asks your age, and the app will not continue if it is under 16. We do
not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child
has given us information, email us and we will delete it.
SECURITY
Information travels encrypted. On our servers, database rules mean your
records are readable only by you, and files are held in private storage
with the same restriction.
No system is perfect. If a breach occurs that puts you at risk we will
tell you and the Irish Data Protection Commission, as the law requires.
CHANGES
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top and, where
the change matters, tell you in the app.
